PANJIM: Last date for renewal of health cards under the Deen Dayal Swasthya Seva Yojana (DDSSY) has been extended to October 15.

The deadline for renewal was to end on September 30. A three-member family is provided an insurance cover of Rs 2.5 lakh while the family of four or more members is provided a cover of Rs 4 Lakh under the scheme.

In 2016, the Goa government had launched the universal health insurance scheme for those living in the State for five years and more. The renewal fees remain the same with Rs 200 being charged for a family of three and less members and Rs 300 for a family of four and above. However, a concession of 50 per cent is provided to OBC of non-creamy layer, SC, ST and differently-abled eligible persons.
